Settling Down
We’ve been here in this apartment since October, but just in the last month have I really settled down. Let me tell you what I’ve been up to…
I sometimes drive the back way to get places now, because I’m begining to know my way around better and like to bypass the traffic filled roads. (We live right on the edge of the city, down the road from the Lansing Mall!)
Where we are living now is a different county than where we have lived before, so I had to get a new library card for the local library. I’ve begun taking Chesley to the story time every Wednesday, getting us out and seeing other people when it’s too cold to be outside.
I have been starving for fellowship with other women. When I found online that a local church had a women’s ministry called Moms and More every Friday morning, I showed up. They are doing a book study on “Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World”, a book already owned. Once I found out they provided child care it was a no-brainer decision. I went for the first time two weeks ago not knowing anyone there. There were over 50 other women there! I really enjoyed getting out and meeting new people. Can’t say I have any new friends yet, but that will come. Chesley really enjoys being with other kids his age too. He really misses the Preschool at New Tribes in Durham so this is a chance for him to play with other kids.
I can’t say I don’t have discontent moments with where God has me today. But step by step my heart is settled as God shows me what He want me to do.

I will be praying that God directs your path, Denise, as you venture out into these things this year. May he bless you with friends abundantly.
